Stapled 8.5"x11" paper together and duct-taped the bind. The covers are colored in crayon as a kind of grease barrier. Shipping tape to repair tears.

Woah!

You got a picture?

Nothing special, picture wise. This prompt worked for me:

  filler notebook paper with duct tape binding and
  crayon colored cover
